Did anyone catch the video of him hitting the ball of the mound backwards during a practice round yesterday? I can't hit a wedge that close straight on! I was glad to see Phil win across the pond though.

Overall his choice of gear is a bit blah. But what soft hands...have you all seen the 60-wedge he hit is his practice round yesterday at Muirfield? Hit it straight up and back over his head. Was amazing...his playing partner tried the same shot with no luck.

It is tough to remember any tourney where the winner got such appreciation from the gallery. Another example of how golf fans appreciate great plays and players regardless of who their own personal favorites are.

Never thought that much of Phil till the last couple years. He is one of my favorites now. He is humble, easy going friendly, caring and he is in charge of himself unlike some. He is what every golf pro should strive to be like him.
